I've spent some time looking for a wad with a solid, cup, but I doubt there would be one in that wads are designed to "petal" open to disperse shot. I wish I would not have given away my 3D printer. I would figure out two "halves" to fill the center section, held together with a band of tape (like the sabot on the Lightfield), and then a plug for the hollow base.
The weather has turned too foul to shoot.
